Ledsham, West Yorkshire
Ledsham is a village and civil parish north of Castleford and east of Leeds in the county of West Yorkshire, England. The village is in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough and near to the A1 Great North Road. It has a population of 162.〔(Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Leeds'' ) retrieved 2009-09-10〕
There is a late seventh-century Anglo-Saxon church (the oldest church and the oldest building standing in West Yorkshire),〔1987 publication by West Yorkshire Archaeology Service: HC/2/SW,CP "Historic Churches of West Yorkshire - Ledsham Church"〕 and nearby Ledston Hall. The village school, like schools in Collingham and Thorp Arch is named after Lady Elizabeth Hastings.
Ledsham is first mentioned around 1030 in the form ''Ledesham''. Like nearby Ledston, the name seems to refer to Leeds (or the Old English precursor of this name, ''Loidis'', which denoted a region rather than a town), meaning the ''hām'' ('homestead, farm') belonging to Leeds.〔Victor Watts (ed.), ''The Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names, Based on the Collections of the English Place-Name Society'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004), s.v. ''LEDSHAM WYorks''.〕
Ledsham have a cricket team, who currently play in the Wetherby League.〔(Ledsham Cricket Club )〕
